RE: PALM 5250

Backup Man is one of the best of the bunch.  TreoCentral is a great place to
learn about the Treo lineup, and Howard Forums (www.howardforums.com) is a
great place for more generalized smartphone and wireless discussions.

I have had all 3 treos mentioned, plus a PPC device (iMate PDA2K) and
Symbian (Sony p910a) in between.  I keep coming back to the Treo, they are
the best of the bunch.

I went from a Treo 300 to the 600 to the 650.  The 650 is by far the best
unit of the bunch.  Still not perfect, but definitely a step up from the 600
and miles ahead of the 300.

I've accessorized my 650 with:
Cardo Scala 500 Bluetooth headset
http://store.treocentral.com/content/accessories/9-32--165.htm (can be had
cheaper elsewhere) A couple of retractable sync-n-change cables (early one +
new one with Hot Sync button)
http://store.treocentral.com/content/accessories/5-19.htm
Car 'USB' adapter to charge in the car using the above cable Screen
protector (change out every few months)
http://store.treocentral.com/content/accessories/15-43--28.htm
Pouch case
http://store.treocentral.com/content/accessories/4-25--245.htm
1GB SD card for backups & MP3s

Besides the Mochasoft emulator, on the software side I've got:
MobileTS for Windows Terminal Services
Mergic VPN for PPTP VPN access, and MovianVPN for IPSec Adobe Reader (sucky,
but slightly better than nothing) Docs to Go Premium for MS Office
functionality BackupMan for scheduled backups of the Treo's RAM to SD
HandZipper for Zip file processing pTunes Deluxe for music playback (MP3,
WMA, etc.) Ringo - works with pTunes for MP3 ring tones LauncherX
replacement app launcher TreoSelectText to select text with the 5-way
ShortCut5 for keyboard 'macros'
pEdit Pro for large text file support
And a bunch of other stuff.  Misc. stuff + games, etc.

www.palmgear.com and www.handango.com are the most common sources of PalmOS
software.

Also, ensure your device's firmware is up to date.  New firmware releases
come out on occasion and fix stuff, improve performance, etc.
For instance, there's a new update just being released for Sprint and
unlocked GSM Treo 650s:
http://www.treocentral.com/content/Stories/618-1.htm 

The forums at www.treocentral.com are full of info (and useless rants,
etc.) about various tweaks and neat stuff.

The  ptn52503.zip is only for a palm os device that can support 320x320.
The Treo650 can, the Treo600 can not.  Use the ptn5250.zip for the Treo600.
I have used both, and they both work very well.  IMHO, you wont find a
better palm OS emulator that supports 5250, and you wont find a better
smartphone than the Treo 650.  I have tried symbian and palm OS smartphones
and keep coming back to the treo.  I have had CDMA version of the 300 and
600 and GSM version of the 600 and 650.
